Drawing on archaeological evidence and ethnographic accounts, Charles Whittlesey provides a detailed picture of the tools, techniques, and social organization of these early miners. A fascinating and invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Indigenous technology and pre-Columbian America.

Isle Royale and the counties that line the northwest coast of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula are called Copper Country because of the rich deposits of native copper there. In the nineteenth century, explorers and miners discovered evidence of prehistoric copper mining in this region. They used those “ancient diggings” as a guide to establishing their own, much larger mines, and in the process, destroyed the archaeological record left by the prehistoric miners. Using mining reports, newspaper accounts, personal letters, and other sources, this book reconstructs what these nineteenth-century discoverers found, how they interpreted the material remains of prehistoric activity, and what they did with the stone, wood, and copper tools they found at the prehistoric sites. “This volume represents an exhaustive compilation of the early written and published accounts of mines and mining in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It will prove a valuable resource to current and future scholars. Through these early historic accounts of prospectors and miners, Halsey provides a vivid picture of what once could be seen.” —John M. O’Shea, curator of Great Lakes Archaeology, University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Imagine a history so profound, it reshapes everything we thought we knew about the origins of civilization. Great Water reveals a new narrative that turns the spotlight away from ancient Egypt, the Fertile Crescent, and southeast Asia, directing it instead towards the Great Lakes region of North America, where evidence suggests that metal technology first emerged around 10,000 years ago. This story follows an unexpected journey into the heart of prehistoric North America, where ancient copper mines around Lake Superior bear silent witness to a long-lost history of indigenous metal use. For over a century, the origins of these mines and the people who created them have remained shrouded in mystery. Against a backdrop of popular myths and academic debates, Great Water offers a groundbreaking perspective based on recent scientific breakthroughs and rigorous research. The narrative debunks the sensational claims of Old World explorers mining North American copper and dispels the notion of so-called "missing" artifacts, instead highlighting the thousands of copper tools and ornaments found around Lake Superior, which are still being discovered today. Through the eyes of three ancient miners on Isle Royale, this book transports readers thousands of years into the past, presenting a vivid account of the indigenous people's remarkable journey across frigid waters to mine copper. These endeavors, unmatched in scale until the late 19th century, are a testament to their ingenuity, perseverance, and deep connection to the land. Great Water is not just a story about the past; it's an invitation to reconsider the narratives we've been told about the history of human technology and achievement. As it peels back the layers of time to reveal the true scale and sophistication of the ancient copper mining industry around Lake Superior, it challenges the academic void and speculative theories with a narrative enriched by archaeological, historical, and geological evidence. Prepare to embark on a journey across Great Water, into the depths of North America's indigenous history, and discover a past that is as intriguing as it is enlightening. This is a story that promises not only to unveil the ancient mysteries of copper mining but also to inspire a newfound appreciation for the complexity and capability of the societies that stood long before us.

For the last 500 years, since Columbus "discovered" the New World, controversy has raged. Was he the first? Was there sustained travel and trade between Europe and North America, back at the dawn of America's history, 4500 years ago? How did the peopling of the Americas really happen? In this controversy, the ancient copper mines of Lake Superior (Kitchi-Gummi) have become an undeniable piece of hard evidence. There have been several books written about the tremendous amounts of pure copper that was set free by the glaciers in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Isle Royal. There is undeniable proof of the mining and gathering of that copper in the distant past. Some researchers have flatly stated that whatever the amount mined, some of it had to have gone elsewhere. There simply seems to be no end (destination) of a copper trade on this continent. Many of you, local history buffs, students of ancient American history, anthropology, archaeology, and Native American studies, may have never heard of the ancient copper mines on Lake Superior. But for those who do know of them, the question was always there. Who dug approximately 5,000 copper mines 4500 years ago on Lake Superior's Isle Royale and adjoining areas? Why did they do it, and where is the copper now? How could 20 to 50 million pounds of copper be removed from this area in such a fashion, that it literally seems to have vanished. Who did the work and where did the copper go? It is significant that in the solving of this ancient puzzle, if Mediterranean area traders were involved, the accepted paradigm of the peopling of America must be changed. This book weighs in on this controversy. It does this in a straight-forward fashion. A simple case study of how these ancient mines came into existence, and the repercussions of the answer. The question of Diffusionism or Parallel Invention must at last be dealt with. This book, is part of your Ancient North American History, a subject that is as yet, in my opinion, not being taught.
